Oika vs Sight

Oika – Haptic Wayfinding is an Apple Watch app that helps blind and visually impaired individuals navigate open outdoor spaces with greater independence. In places like beaches, parks, or fields where there are no clear landmarks, Oika allows users to set a safe starting point with a simple gesture. When ready to return, the app provides discreet haptic feedback and directional audio cues, guiding them back safely without the need for visual interaction. Built natively for Apple Watch, Oika is optimized for non-visual use, offering a seamless, intuitive experience through touch and sound. GPS is used to provide real-time location tracking, ensuring accurate guidance even in wide or unstructured areas. Explore freely. Return confidently. All from your wrist.

Sight: Detect & Navigate is a LiDAR-based navigation assistant for blind and low-vision users. It requires an iPhone with a LiDAR scanner, such as supported iPhone Pro models. The app helps users navigate with spoken guidance, haptic feedback, walking directions, and obstacle awareness. It uses the camera and LiDAR sensor for real-time environmental awareness, and location for walking routes through Apple Maps. It is a free to use application and features such as object detection and LiDAR can be used offline. Once the route under the navigation tab is set, the entire app can function offline. Camera and LiDAR processing happens on device. The app has no account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no in-app purchases, and no subscriptions. Thank you for downloading the app!
